"The rigging today has damaged the image of ODM Party. I will not accept these results at all because we witnessed all tactics being done to ensure I am defeated. I have 24 hours from now and I will think of going as an independent candidate because one thing I am sure about is that I must be on the ballot," said Domoko as quoted in the Daily Nation on Sunday, April 23.

However, Mboko dismisses Domoko’s claims, saying he only sensed defeat and was looking for someone to blame.

“I am honored by the results. The race gave me an opportunity to gauge myself ahead of the August 8 polls. I thank God we managed to conduct our nominations here in Likoni peacefully. I know it was not an easy journey but finally, I have seen the results of my seat,” said Mboko.
